Las Vegas Motor Speedway has the distinction of being the first completely new superspeedway to be built in the southwest region of the United States in more than 20 years. But along with everything else in this glamorous corner of Nevada, growth is a sign of the times.
Las Vegas Motor Speedway first hosted a NASCAR event in 1996 -- the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season finale. Jack Sprague rolled to victory in that historic event.
